About Us
TITLE INSURANCE AND CLOSINGS
Owners Policies:
We provide owners of 1 to 4 family residential properties with the ALTA 1998 Policy. This policy not only insures against defects in the title prior to the closing but also contains important coverage for some matters that may occur after the closing. Unlike many other companies, we issue this policy without any additional cost. For an in depth discussion of this policy see the following link: First American Eagle Owners Policy - Coverage
When the property does not qualify for a 1998 policy we provide the ALTA 1992 Standard Owners Policy.
Loan Policies:
In most situations we will provide lenders with the ALTA Short Form Loan Policy. We issue this at closing and return it to the lender with the closing package.
Insured Closings:
When John Bethell Title Insurance Company, Inc. issues your title insurance, First American Title Insurance Company automatically insures your closing. This gives you the peace of mind of knowing that when you leave the closing, your title is insured.
